Abstract

Object relational interface, within the meaning of a tool for mapping of a relational database to a set of objects, is an essential element of modern applications co-operating with relational databases. Nowadays at least a few dozen of this type tools exists. For one programming language sometimes there are even a dozen or more to choose from. So the choice is broad. The article presents a review of such tools and proposes basic evaluation criteria for their suitability.
